Chapter 12. Sleepover meeting


Xu Xiao Jiao internally murmured how fun Song Wei Ping was. He was obviously a boring gourd, but occasionally he would show a cute side. Don't know in his previous life of remaining single, how many girls surrounded and threw themselves at him.

But in this life, those seducing spirits had no hope. This potential stock had been taken down by her.

Xu Xiao Jiao once again thought about her future life as a salted fish and she contentedly went out with Song Wei Ping to welcome guests.

They didn't invite many people. On Xu Xiao Jiao's side, her two educated youth friends, Wang Gui Yue and Zhou Ping Xiang. Wu Chun Hua invited two neighbors whom she usually had a good relationship with. The rest were invited by Song Wei Ping. He called the village branch secretary, the branch leader couple, those on the transport team he went out with last time. Granny Song's maternal family’s brothers brought a young-looking cousin uncle.

All together, there were only two tables.

Majority had arrived. After the greetings were over, Zhou Ping Xiang and Wang Gui Yue dragged Xu Xiao Jiao into the room. They went to the countryside together and they always had something to say.

"Xiao Jiao, you look really good today." Zhou Ping Xiang couldn't look away when she saw her wearing a red dress for the first time.

Envy flashed in Wang Gui Yue's eyes, "Let me just say, Xiao Jiao is now a flower of Meilin Village."

Zhou Ping Xiang nodded, "I think Song Wei Ping really cared. The house looks decent. The windows are covered with red paper."

A few people were laughing and rowdy. The atmosphere was pretty good. Wang Gui Yue looked toward the yard from the window. Curious, she commented "Oh, that's Song Wei Ping’s Maternal Granduncle and his cousin uncle. Look how his cousin uncle is pulling faces. Not at all happy or lively."

Xu Xiao Jiao looked over and understood, "Him ah! He disdains Elder Brother Wei Ping for being a calamity star. He never shows up all year round except for demanding payment during the New Year. Of course, he would put on a long face."

The last time Song Wei Ping went out for a transportation trip, she stayed at his house for most of the day. She had heard Granny Song mention this cousin uncle.

This maternal granduncle who came this time can be said to be raised by Granny Song. He had the tightest relationship with Granny Song. He was quite capable. He became a community leader in a neighboring village when he was young. The family had some saving and happened to let Granny Song borrow a lot of it. His only son was naturally unhappy.

"He's also extremely superstitious. He thinks that Song Wei Ping is born with bad luck, and his house's feng shui isn't good. Coming here means his future life and fortune will be infected. If he didn't come to demand a payment, he would never show up for eight hundred lifetimes."

Song Wei Ping’s Maternal Granduncle must have pressured him to come here this time.

While the few were talking, Song Wei Ping led them to the west wing. Shortly after he came out, there was a smile on his cousin uncle's face.

"Huh? Song Wei Ping has a way of doing things. His expression is better." Zhou Ping Xiang habitually praised people.

Xu Xiao Jiao secretly rolled her eyes. What way? Money can turn ghosts around. In the end it was money being paid back.

Song Wei Ping told her two days ago that if Maternal Granduncle came this time, he would pay back the five yuan. In the past, he could only pay back five yuan at the end of the year. Now that spring wasn't over, he paid it back again. Of course he would be happy.

Wang Gui Yue pondered how Song Wei Ping's family had so many incidents and must owe a lot of money. For a moment, she didn't feel so envious. So she pushed Xu Xiao Jiao, "Feng Shui, sometimes you have to believe it. In the future when you suffer here and we are all going back to the city, don't cry."

Xu Xiao Jiao thought that everything went smoothly for Song Wei Ping during this time. Granny Song praised her as a lucky star, so she was a little complacent, "Whatever Feng Shui it is, it will be full of prosperity with me here."

She spoke quite confidently. Not to mention Wang Gui Yue, even Zhou Ping Xiang was skeptical. The family was so poor. A mud-leg that dug for food and owed a lot of debt. This flower was stuck in cow dung. What prosperity will there be if she follows him?

Many people present thought so. Of course, it was just no one looking for a scolding speaking this out.

Li San Tie had a far-sighted vision. He firmly believed that Song Wei Ping will have a promising future. Seeing that Song Wei Ping had married a beautiful wife, he truly felt that the two were a good match. "You lad, you have really good eyesight. Younger Sister-in-law, don't worry, this Wei Ping lad will definitely let you live a good life."

Xu Xiao Jiao realized that these words were sincere and poured wine for him with a smile, "Thank you, Third Elder Brother. From now on, I have to ask you to take care of our Elder Brother Wei Ping."

"Haha, what take care. Wei Ping has the ability."

Everyone was very satisfied with this banquet. The main reason was that the food was solid. Although there were only eight dishes, there were chicken and meat. The most important thing was that the taste was good. Even the shepherd's purse dug from the ground was delicious. The mixed flour mantou was filling.

The hosts and guests enjoyed themselves. When everyone left, they were allocated a few candies. This was a big expense.

Xu Xiao Gang was so stuffed that he sat on the chair and didn't want to move, "Elder Sister, that stewed pork slice was so delicious and flavorful. Did you make it?"

Xu Xiao Jiao was also sitting at the side. Her chin pointed toward Song Wei Ping who was cleaning up the tables and chairs, "I provided the recipe. Your Elder Brother-in-law made it. Since it's delicious, he can make it later."

Now Xu Xiao Gang was more courageous. He called out to Song Wei Ping, "Hehe, Elder Brother-in-law, in a few days, make stewed pork slices for us to eat again."

The word 'Elder Brother-in-law' entered Song Wei Ping's ears. He turned his head to look at the two sitting siblings and replied warmly, "Okay."

As night fell, Wu Chun Hua took Xu Xiao Gang back early. Granny Song returned to the west wing with a smile. Xu Xiao Jiao followed Song Wei Ping into the main room. She was a little uncomfortable at first. But as she watched Song Wei Ping take out an old sheet and turn it into a curtain in the middle of the bed, she instantly lost any awkward thoughts.

Sure enough, Song Wei Ping wasn't capable of it. If not, then he wasn't interested in women. She didn't need to mention it. Look at the two nails on the wall. She knew that he had already thought about life after marriage. She didn't need to worry about it at all.

Song Wei Ping saw her state go from tense to relaxed and said in a low voice, "You sleep inside against the wall. I sleep outside. Just call me if you need something at night."

Xu Xiao Jiao stretched her head from the end of the bed to look inside, "Song Wei Ping, you're so thoughtful. That's great."

After washing and lying down, Xu Xiao Jiao was a little curious, "Song Wei Ping, are you asleep?"

"No."

Xu Xiao Jiao turned around and faced the curtain, "This is the first time I've slept on the same bed as someone else. I'm still a little unaccustomed."

"Can't sleep?" Song Wei Ping asked her.

"No. It's not time for me to go to bed yet." She wasn’t about the bed. It just felt so strange. For a while, she couldn't tell why.

"Chat?" Song Wei Ping turned around slightly.

Xu Xiao Jiao contemplated for a while. That’s right. On the first night of living with her new roommate, of course there will be a sleepover meeting, "Okay, okay, I happen to have something to discuss with you."
